Blocks Lamps Lighting Fixture

Blocks Lamps

Blocks Lamps is a collection of sculptural table lamps inspired by urban architecture. The five forms draw on libraries, towers, townhouses, inverted pyramids and arenas. Each lamp is made of white oak, steel and mulberry paper. Wood grain textures taken from printmaking are transferred onto the shades, recalling the passage of time. When the lamps are placed together, the group resembles a city block and creates an interplay of light and shadow. The collection treats lighting as both a personal and an architectural object.

Blocks Lamps Lighting Fixture by Rio Jiunyu Chen has been recognized as a grand example of industrial design by the A' Design Award & Competition. Blocks Lamps Lighting Fixture received the Iron A' Design Award in Lighting Products and Fixtures Design in 2025. The A' Lighting Products and Fixtures Design Award is a juried, academic and highly prestigious design recognition program which recognizes outstanding design of chandeliers, pendant lights, wall sconces, table lamps, floor lamps, outdoor lights, recessed lights, track lights and more.
